Framed

The building process around here is getting more and more exciting. After the rough framing (which I showed last week), the builders added more for the walls and roof...

framed in the windows...

put on some sheathing...

and then cut out the window holes.

The windows arrive today and we're pretty excited about them going in. It's amazing how much more spacious and bright it is upstairs. This has also been a cool experience (I'm pretty sure) for Jeremy, who, as an architect, has seen very little, if any, of the projects he's worked on. He's always been part of a bigger team and other people went out to the site to check on things. It's quite a thing to design something and then see it built through the whole process.

Your Homesteader

This is the blog formerly known as “Northwest Meets Midwest,” where I shared about the absurdities and adventures of living in the Midwest (having moved here from the Northwest). But really, this blog has been more and more a story of how we’ve fallen into urban farming and homesteading. So read on and enjoy our adventures in canning, preserving, mushroom-growing, local/organic fanaticism, chicken raising, designing and constructing, sewing, and attempting a little self-sufficiency in our corner of Minneapolis.
